We are finding that the Outdoor Programming Book increases educator intentionality in programming for a variety of outdoor experiences and in observing children's choices in the outdoor environment and then intentionally following up on these for a more holistic practice.
Thank you Leonie! We are so glad our Central Outdoor Weekly Programming and Reflection Diary is supporting you in developing a holistic program for children. Great to see the pictures of your Diary in use too! Thank you again for a wonderful review!
